“The Broken Horn” is an exciting read.
The world is beautifully immersive and each character becomes a living being that you could reach out and touch. From the first chapter to the last, “The Broken Horn” ranks first class.
I couldn’t put the book down! The world was amazing, the action was riveting, and I already miss the characters. Book 2 can’t come out soon enough!
I put the book down halfway through. I don’t read fiction and I don’t like fantasy. Basically the writing is good, I just didn’t like the book. Maybe someone who likes fantasy will.
You will fall in love with these characters. Their world is unforgiving and the stakes are high. You will find yourself celebrating every win and mourning every loss along side them. Their compelling stories of pain and determination, hope and resilience will keep you glued to the page. I hope you loose yourself in the vivid landscapes as thoroughly as I did. Ears here, you’re going to feel some shit.
